Latest thought bubble from NRL on rules. Reported that Wayne Pearce, in clearly a sign that the NRL on on the right track on concussion 'cause he has clearly copped 1 too many headknocks, wants 7 tackle set when a kick goes into touch of not a 40/20 or 20/40 to keep the ball in play more?? So now we will have wingers and fullbacks willing the ball into touch instead of picking it up & running it so they get another tackle!! He claims that kicking into touch is a negative play.
But wonderkid can run the ball backwards the length of the field and thatās not negative.
They need to get the refs and bunkers on track with existing rules before making up others.
Joke - So when your team needs a breather and your the key to the teams success your options are being taken away.
What a peanut
Iām sick of these so called experts impacting our product, leave the game alone. It is bad enough now with the soccer mentality for head highs, the slightest touch, lay down for the penalty, yet your allowed to smash someoneās skull in and only get 10 minutes.
I was so proud of Robbo for costing himself 10k min and highlighting the lob sided thought process of the bunkerā¦Get rid of it and live with the on field decisions.
Donāt like the idea. I think the game is fast enough as it is, and this looks like an idea to make it faster. The fans/viewers need breaks during the game too!!! Kicking into touch is also a good tactical tool at times.
